I second the female answer. Although the hairs between the book lungs are slightly darker in color, I'd still say fem.

Looking male to me. Ether that or its a female with a really jacked looking up furrow. Kinda looks that way actually. But at 2.5" you better just wait and check a molt.

Can you tell us which species this is I know its only minor info but I dont feel right guessing unless I have as much info as possible about the T. If I had to guess without the info id say male.

It looks male to me too. epigastric furrow opening is not wide and thick, but then again it does not need to be always, I also support that the book lungs are a bit close together for a definite female win. wow, actually i'm being no help at all lol. okay, rather wait for a molt.
oh yes, and that patch of curious dark hair.

i've learned that with grammostolas that you really can't tell externally. For instance, on of my g. aureos looked really really male on the outside. At 3" when it molted, I took a look inside and found two nice spermathacae. So IME, it's just a guessing game with this genus on the outside, again tho, only IME
